Wow, this post will be fully loaded. Loaded with pictures that is! Haha.
I really want to make kwento and give you the full details but I don't want to bore you to death.
The gist: it was a rockstar-themed birthday party. Everybody was so game. Almost everyone came in his or her rockstar attire (well, at least a version of rockstar in their head). And in lieu of party hats we gave out bandanas to kids. We also tried to incorporate the musical rockstar theme into the lootbags (musical instruments), prizes (toy guitars) and adult prizes (rockstar-ish necklaces and guitar key chains). But before I get carried away mga ateh I will let the pictures do the talking.
Venue: Sala @ Centerstage KTV, Jupiter St., Makati
